Event Navigation

An ice rink in the winter, the Blue Cross RiverRink turns into a sun-soaked wonderland during its annual Summerfest event. Transforming the ice into a roller rink, serving drinks and food from the boathouse lodge, providing carnival attractions like games and rides for kids—it’s everything you need in a summer party. This will be a great place to hangout and bring the family everyday this summer.

Book here to stay with the Independent Hotel this summer. For more information on SummerFest, check out the website here.

The Independent Hotel

Conveniently located to historic sites such as Independence Hall and the Liberty Bell, and a short walk to the Pennsylvania Convention Center, The Independent Hotel is located in the central neighborhood of Midtown Village, one of Philadelphia’s most dynamic communities. Part of Philly’s thriving Gayborhood, Midtown Village has seen a plethora of independently owned and gay-friendly businesses blossom in recent years. Within these few square blocks you’ll discover a bevy of quirky boutique shops, clothing stores, indie art galleries, funky bars, and amazing eats—Philly’s Restaurant Row on 13th Street features some of the best dining in town. Head north to Reading Terminal Market to sample handmade artisanal foods, or walk west toward Rittenhouse Square for some peace and quiet. This is a livable, easygoing city, and no matter whether it’s sports, food, culture, or debating which cheesesteaks are the best in town, Philadelphians offer it up with a friendly smile.
